TERRIBLE SCENES AMONG THE WILD AM
MAILS

TERRIBLE SCENES AMONG THE WILD AMI
MAILS.
Barnum's greatest show on earth" is no
more. 1t passed away in flames and
smoke a: the Winter quarters, Bridgeport,
Conn, last Sunday night. The main
building was discovered on fire about
1890 o'clock, and before the fire depart
ment of the town could render any assist
ance, the whole place was afame and be-
yond control. The scene among the live
stock, the elephants, lions, and other wild
beasts beggars description. There were
fortunately but few horses quartered there,
but the entire herd of elephants were. and
these and the lions, tigers, and the huge
rhinocerous created indiscribable conster
nation as they escaped from the flames and
run panic stricken through the city. The
fire was sudden, terrible and soon over
and is supposed to have been the work o
an incendiary. Nearly the whole circus
outfit, including chariots, cages, wagons
tents and innumerable appliances were de-
stroyed. Only three or four elephants
persisted in the flames, but among then
was the so>called sacred white elephant
for which it is said Barnum paid many
thousands of dollars, and then found GU
that it was not especially sacred after all
The famous Alice, once consort OF Jumbo
is also included in the list that perished
The majority of the elephants in thei
frenzy to escape, broke down their bar
riers and rushed panic stricken through
the crowd and into the waters of thu
sound where they submerged themselve
and were with difficulty coaxed to COM
ashore. One of the number deliberately
committed suicide by drowning.
Both Barnum and Bailey CHS partner
were in New York, the former stopping
at the Murray Hill Hotel. When he wa
| informed of hisvloss at 2:40 o'clock tina
night, he simply remarked lit might hay

sumed his sleep. Early next morning
however. he cabled his agents in Europ

A Miser's P1tiable Plight.

A singular case of miserliness comes
from Allentown, Pa. For many years
John Losch, an aged man, has resided
alone in house on a populous street
amid surroundings which presented q
horrifying spectacle to those who discov-
cred the situation one day this week.
The house was not fit for human habita-
ton. Leaks in the stovepipe had filled
the room with smoke until the walls
were black and gloomy. The floor wai
GOV cred with ashes, coal and filth. The
furniture, what little there was of it, was
of the most crude and dilapidated de-
scription. When discovered the old man
was seated near the fireless stove, nearly
starved and frozen to death. Being
eighty-six years old and alone in the
house, he was nearly helpless. Palsied
with age and chattering from cold his
condition was pitiable indeed The last
person to visit him was daughter, who
some two weeks before the discovery left
him alone with nothing to eat save some
beans and apple butter, when she went
off to Philadelphia. Upon this fare and
amid these surroundings the old man
had subsisted until the situation became
known by reason of his cries being heard
by some of the neighbors. The strangest
feature of all is, that Losch is possessed
of handsome fortune, owning real
estate valued at $4,000, and his two
sons are prosperous business men.

Van orden's Bloody Shirt Found.

In the course OF the Coroner's Inquest
concerning the murder of Simon Somers,
the Canalboat Captain, at Boonton two
weeks ago, it came out that Van Orden
when arrested in the cabin of the boat
had no shirt on but was about putting on
clean one when officer Gillmartin
found him. No one seemed to think of
searching for possible tell-tale shirt,
until last Wednesday morning when the
same boat, in charge of new manage
ment, was passing over the plane at
Montville the plug was removed to let
the water out OF the bottom of the boat,
when there was discovered between the
bottom and the pine lining of the boat
bloody shirt which is supposed to have
been secreted there by Van Orden after
he shot Somers. The shirt was quite
bloody and one side was torn, while on
the back were the prints OF bloody hands
as though the wounded man had clutchs
ed and struggled with his assassin.
